Sorry Party Thinking

More From William Hague

Equity is a roguish thing. for law we have a measure, know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. 't is all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we call a "foot" a chancellor's foot; what an uncertain measure would this be! one chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a third an indifferent foot. 't is the same thing in the chancellor's conscience.
Law Feet Long
When we ask negroes to abide by the law, let us also declare that the white man does not abide by law in the ghettos. day in and day out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions of civil services. the slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison.
Ghetto Men White
You say: 'oh, please forgive' you say: 'oh, live and let live.' but sorry doesn't help us. sorry will not save us. sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). sorry doesn't help us. sorry won't protect us. sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.
Sorry Forgiving Gone
The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct, he was obsolete. but so was the state, the entity he worshipped. any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. a case to be filed under 'm' for mankind... in the twilight zone.
Twilight Men Rights
That, they never could lay their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could tolerate the idea of their wives laying their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could endure the notion of their children laying their heads upon their pillows; in short, that there never more could be, for them or theirs, any laying of heads upon pillows at all, unless the prisoner's head was taken off.
Children Taken Ideas
It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the state has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. all the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another, there is no other source from which state power can be drawn. therefore every assumption of state power, whether by gift or seizure leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of state power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power.

It remains our policy to change the regime until such time as the regime changes itself. so far, we cannot be sure that he is cooperating or he [saddam hussein] is acting in a way that could give us comfort, or should give the international community comfort, that he is giving up his weapons of mass destruction. he continues to give us statements that suggest he is not in possession of weapons of mass destruction when we know he is.
